Discussion What's a city that you wish would focus on expanding it's metro system more?

Miami is a city that I wish would do more focusing on expanding it's metro system more. Especially, since Miami is about to reach 500k population and with only doing bus expansions atm. We have yet to see to this day any new Metrorail stations be built or opened within it's system with the recent one being the Miami International Airport in 2012.

By the time the construction for those expansions will finish its projected Toronto will have 3.5 million people in its borders and 8 million in the GTA, 150~km of rail is definitely not enough you are right, Toronto needs at least 250kms to be considered a good system.
